When things don’t work out as planned do you pivot, adjust and keep going? Or do you get discouraged, filled with self-doubt and wonder what is wrong? When things don’t go down as you had planned or hoped, do you want to stop? 

Is love appropriate in business? If you put love first does it mean you will be less successful? Or you won’t do the hard things like give tough feedback, hold someone accountable or stick it out during the harder times. Will you be too soft?

A few years ago, I was leading a workshop in London. In the middle of it, I started to get worried that it wasn’t going well. I started to wonder if people were getting impacted and if I was doing a good job.

It’s all improv.

Thinking on your feet. Responding to the moment. Dealing with the unpredictable and the unknown. Engaging with others. Taking what life & others present and building on it. Creating.

We all do this in our work, our lives and our relationships.
